Damn near everything in Nier Gestalt/Replicant. That game wrecks me every time I play it.
Stray ending
Fallout: New Vegas.
At the end of Boone's companion quest, we're watching the sunrise, having barely survived the night. He confesses what really happened to his wife. Nat King Cole comes on the radio with "Love Me." I weep.

Apollo 11 VR. I would be amazed if it's a common response as most folks would probably just think of it as a very boring simulated rollercoaster. For me it produced an overwhelming feeling of awe as I reflected on humanity's path to that point and the enormity of lifting off from our little blue pearl.
There have actually been a lot of games that have made me cry over they years. Some of the ones I remember are:
Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, 3 and Peace Walker
Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, BBS, Re:Coded and 358/2 days
Final Fantasy 10 and (obviously) Crisis Core
Castlevania Order of Ecclesia
I'm pretty sure there are more but I can't really remember any others. I've kind of always been very sensitive to emotional things, so a lot of games get at least a tear or two but the ones I mentioned were games that I remember being wrecked after playing.
So many tears shed in Final Fantasy X. Hell, the emotion in the cutscene of Yuna's sending at the village hit by Sin...

I got all fucked up inside when Agro died in Shadow of the Colossus.
More of a playable story, but the entirety of Dear Esther is a bit heart wrenching.

Life is strange. Repeatedly.
Mafia 1. "Mr. Salieri sends his regards". Need I say more?
Mass Effect 3: "Leaving Earth"
The first time was in Mass Effect 3, when Liara shows you her project in your cabin. For me, this was the first time in the trilogy where I felt that we could really lose the war against the reapers.
Another very good moment was in Life is Strange Before the Storm, when Chloe finds her dad's car in the junkyard. That hit hard.
No spoilers but the ending of Life Is Strange made me cry.
I was pretty emotionally stunted and depressed as a teenager and had trouble crying even when I wanted to (it's a horrible feeling, physically) so Earthbound and Mother 3 were therapeutic
ME:3 and the cliff.
Several points in Life is Strange, I have yet to finish that game.

I tried to install Skyrim and my disc was unreadable
The ending of Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, it was just so cool and and so well done. What a great final boss when compared to Breath of the wild.
Hl2 EP2's ending
FFXIV, over and over. The kind of nobility and self sacrifice displayed in that story has set me crying several times. Honestly, I can feel it a little bit just thinking of some of those moments, but I try to smile through it.
Because a smile better suits a hero.

Getting the True Ending in the base game of Outer Wilds. Including the credits, including after the credits. So beautifully bittersweet.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps has some great emotional moments that are complemented by a fantastic soundtrack. Learning about Shriek's backstory after being hunted by her the entire game was just too much.
Horizon zero dawn is the game that got me. Getting closer to the end just got me sadder and sadder.
Before your eyes
Game that uses your blinking as it's controls
Ending just had me in tears
Beginning of last of us part 1.
A weird one that I've not seen mentioned: the intro to Battlefield 1. It is really well crafted and was emotional in a way I've never felt from a war FPS.
The multiple unavoidable deaths and brief epitaph shown on screen, before hot swapping to the next soldier felt poignant. Really hit me with the pointlessness and futility of WWI, the plight of the common soldier and the sheer scale of death.
